with only one HP cylinder in operation and that the minimum LP/HP swept
volume ratio for any part-load step is ϕ = 2.
Therefore, for all Grasso two-stage types a fast pull- down electric capacity
control system has been developed, which allows the compressors to be started
with two or more HP cylinders in operation and which includes one or more part-
load steps with volume ratio ϕ = 1.
